## Varta YB16CL-B vs YB18L-A, YB16L-B and 518014024: which one to choose?

Torn between the YB16CL-B and another similar Varta? This is what changes:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varta YB16CL-B (this one) | 19 Ah | 240 A | 176 × 101 × 176 | right | 6.13 kg |

- Varta YB18L-A: 1 Ah less, 40 A less cranking power, a different case (181 × 92 × 164 mm).
- Varta YB16L-B: the same capacity, the same cranking power, a different height (156 mm instead of 176 mm). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 176 mm height of the YB16CL-B.
- Varta 518014024: 1 Ah less, the same cranking power, a different case (186 × 82 × 171 mm).

## What to look at before buying the YB16CL-B

- Measure the space: the YB16CL-B takes up 176 × 101 × 176 mm.
- Polarity of the YB16CL-B: positive terminal on the right (if yours has it on the other side, the cables will not reach).
- Your current battery should say about 19 Ah; a little more is also fine.
- Cold cranking: 240 A (EN), equal to or higher than the original.
